Oh, you have GOT to be kidding me!
Why? Why do I have to face that musclebound a-hole?
Well, I do have to triumph through adversity and I actually am more skilled and stronger than Izuku, so I should be able to put up a better fight, maybe a 55% charge which will strain but not break my bones in the legs and then a night little 60% punch to the chin, should make his brain rattle and hit the back of his skull, resulting in a quick knock-out.
Potentially saving me enough time to bring Kota back to camp and return to fight as many villains as possible, maybe I can sneak in kills, which should weaken the League immensely, or I can just cripple them beyond recovery.
Then there's that stupid Doctor, Garaki was his name, right?
Gotta make it so that evil scientists can't do squat about the beatings I dish out.
Finishing that train of thought, I tell the students and Tiger and Mandalay about Spinner's and Magne's powers and how to counter most optimally.
"Guys, listen up. Spinner—he's the lizard-looking guy with the patchwork sword. Don't underestimate him.
He's skilled with that blade and uses his Gecko Quirk to cling to surfaces, but that's where his advantage ends.
He's not fast, and he's not durable. Use speed, coordination, and ranged attacks to keep him off balance.
Disarm him if you can—without his weapon, he's exposed.
"Mandy," I lean in and lower my voice, "try throwing him off with a playful remark. He's not used to being addressed like that—it might buy you a second to land a clean hit."
"Now, Magne. He's the one with the wild hair and magnetic powers. He's fast, strong, and strategic. His Quirk lets him magnetize others based on gender polarity—but he can't magnetize himself. That's his blind spot. Stay sharp, stay mobile, and don't let him control the battlefield."
"Ah, yeah, he's a transgender woman, so technically he is a she, and he gets real pissed when ya get it wrong, use that to win."
Instructions given, I dash off, "And while y'all do that, I'll do crowd control and save Kota real quick."
'One For All, 45% Full-cowling,' I use nearly half of my full power to boost my speed tremendously, and so, I arrive just in time to save Kota from Muscular.
"Whoa there, ain't no way a grown ass man is trynna hit a kid, right?"
"Why are you doing this?" Kota asked.
"Simple, kid, I am a hero, my goal is to save everybody I can, and now, cheerio!"
I shout at muscular and dash off toward the camp at a speed almost invisible to the untrained eye.
This time I use 60% full-cowling in order to complete this rescue and meet Muscular halfway, cause currently he is still 'playing' and not serious.
I get to the camp and put Kota down, "Now stay here and let me do the hero stuff, 'kay?"
Kota merely managed to nod, and then I left as quickly as the wind.
"Hello there," I spoke up as I kneed Muscular in his annoying face, knocking the man away into a nearby tree.
"Heh, guess playtime's over, kid. You're dead now!!!" With that, Muscular transformed, layers upon layers of muscle growing over his skin, but what I didn't expect was that I was not following anime rule number one: I won't let my opponents transform without interruption.
'One For All, 55% dash' I blurred from sight and reappeared in front of his face, telegraphing my punch like crazy, and just as I expected, he reacted, blocking... nothing?
His eyes widened as my form dispersed. I was behind him, and with an unobstructed view of the back of his skull, '60%' "Texas Smash!!!" My fist smashed into his skull, probably giving him some severe brain damage, and as he was falling to the ground, I grabbed him as his muscle layers receded and punctured key nervous pathways, so when brain-waves go through, it hurts like hell.
That done, I carried him to the clearing, just to see Aizawa running through the forest, "See, told ya that they would show, target, Bakugo, I'm kinda on a high right now, can you permit us to fight with Quirks real quick? I'll tell Mandalay, so we can fight back fully."
Aizawa didn't argue; he just nodded and sent me off with a wave.
I ran off even faster than before, my mind in a perfect state of flow allowed me to regulate my Quirk better since running was a secondary task taken on by instinct. 'One for All 65% full-cowling dash', I made it to the battle between Mandalay and Spinner and Tiger, and Magne.
"Mind if I swoop in?" I ask as I shatter Spinner's weird sword, "Now then, you two, one-shot victims, two options: you tell us what your objective is and surrender peacefully, or I beat your asses now and you get interrogated by Aizawa Sensei later, which will be more painful, just sayin'. Pick your poison."
The two villains laughed uproariously, but they didn't see me appear before them and quickly give them an uppercut so hard that they both were unconscious on their feet, falling seconds later.
"Take them back to the clearing west of camp. I put one villain there already, and Mandalay, use Telepath to tell 1a and 1b that in the name of Pro Hero Eraserhead, everyone is allowed to use their Quirk to fight in self-defense."
Mandalay nodded, still awed at Izuku's display of knocking out two powerful villains in a short amount of time, seemingly with ease.
"Classes 1a and 1b, in the name of Pro Hero Eraserhead, you are permitted to use your Quirks to fight back, don't lose. The individual Katsuki Bakugo should at all costs avoid fighting and return to safety at all costs."
Meanwhile, Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and a knocked-out student from class 1b were running towards a villain. Katsuki grumbled about not being allowed and, of course, ignored the warning.
The Blades coming out of the mouth of the Villain were dangerous, so it quickly became an AOE duel between Shoto and the Villain named Moonfish.
"Looks like he's got a lot of experience," Shoto remarked as he readied himself to fight to the death.
Moonfish, a Death Row convict (escaped), was clearly a deranged individual; his next words confirm that beyond a doubt: "Show me... your flesh..."
Bakugo let off a few sparks, ready to blow things up to high hell, but Shoto stopped him, reminding him that, "If you use any large flames around here and the fire spreads, we'll be surrounded by Flames and everyone will die. Do you get it?"
Katsuki was pissed, beyond usual, "Shut up! I know, dammit!"
Shoto turned to regard their surroundings,' Even if we tried to retreat, there's that annoying gas, these villains are obviously trying to drive us into a corner...'
Meanwhile, somewhere else in this battlezone, Tetsutetsu, Itsuka Kendo, and a few others from Class 1b are running in the gas, luckily unaffected since they wore the masks that Momo Yaoyorozu made using her Quirk.
They quickly figure out that the gas is a controlled phenomenon, so someone has a gasous Quirk, meaning they have to take him out to remove this poisonous gas from the battlefield.
But just as they found him, the source of this gas, a villain by the name of Mustard, he revealed a trump card. "No matter how flashy the quirk, they're still human, right?"
And as he said that, and Tetsutetsu was just in range to pummel him, a loud gunshot was heard.
'Darn it, oh? I forgot, he is that Kendo and Tetsu victim, I can move on then.'
And I was correct, moments later, the gas was gone as Mustard, the villain, was beaten.
Unfortunately, I forgot that I was also in a battlezone, and while running, I had to dodge with nearly supersonic speed as a dark appendage almost smacked me into oblivion.
"God fuggin' dammit!"
"Shoji, let's sic him onto some villain nearby, since Dark Shadow is mostly instinct given form, we can have him chase us and bring him into an open area, and while Tokoyami fights for control in the moonlight, another villain can get his ass beaten."
Shoji was shocked at Midoriya's quick thinking, but he just nodded and said, "Good plan, Midoriya. Let's do it."
Thus, the newly formed duo ran like hell, and Dark Shadow followed them, wreaking havoc as he went.
"Flesh!..." It was heard as a tooth extended beyond what should be normal, and nearly pierced us both, but Tokoyami's indiscriminant attacks made it so we didn't get hit.
Just as Bakugo and Shoto were about to make some light to help with controlling Dark Shadow, they heard Moonfish speak again,
"Flesh... Piece of meat...it's no good... I can't allow it...I'm the only one who is allowed to look at a cross-section of those kids...Don't steal them from me!!!!"
With that shout, Moonfish shot out an immense amount of toothblades, a dangerous AOE attack for sure.
Dark Shadow roared back a cold "Don't beg! Small Fry!"
And in the next moment, it captured Moonfish in a deathgrip and started to break the forest using him as a damn wrecking ball.
Just as it seemed that Dark Shadow had had enough, he yelled that he didn't, in fact, have enough fun yet, so Shoto and Katsuki used their Quirks to create powerful sources of light, weakening Dark Shadow to a degree where Tokoyami could take back the reins.
And of course, Katsuki had to leave a remark about someone being weaker, "Ya bastard, you're a bad match-up against me."
Tokoyami knelt on the ground, panting, "Sorry... Thanks for saving me there..."
"That done, The Target, as I confirmed against a rather talkative villain, is you, Katsuki."
This gave the group pause. Shoji repeated as if to confirm what he just heard, "Bakugo? Why'd they want him dead?"
I responded quickly, not wanting to waste time at all, "Dunno, but I think the camp would be the safest location to be at right now. And we can easily get there with a team like ours, Myself, Shoto, Katsuki, Shoji, Tokoyami, we're basically unbeatable short of Allmight."
"That's right!" They all responded, egos boosted.
As they discussed strategies, Katsuki stood there like a fish out of the water, expression comically flat.
Then, as his anger boiled over, he crashed out, "What's with you guys-"
"You walk in the middle-" Shoto began, but quickly Bakugo cut him off as his outburst continued.
"Shut up! Don't protect me, you scum!"
"Let's get going, Katsuki."
"Don't ignore me!" Katsuki shot back.
Shoto spoke without turning, "Make sure you keep up."
"Don't tell me what to do!"
As they proceeded to run off, Ochaco and Tsuyu had a weird and scary encounter with a stab-happy, Yandere Villain by the name of Toga Himiko. She got some of Tsu's blood and almost succeeded in getting some of Ochaco's, but then she was forced to run as Izuku's group made it there in time before worse things could happen.
"What are you guys doing?" Tsu asked with her usual bluntness.
"We are protecting Katsk- wait, where the hell did he disappear off to? Guys, quick look around!"
The others did as I told them to, and lo and behold, the angry blond pomeranian was nowhere to be seen.
Nobody had their guard down, so how?
Then they heard a voice, so plain, yet so annoying that everybody wanted to punch whoever had that annoying voice.
"I whisked him away with my 'Magic'. Someone with such talent shouldn't be wasted on the hero side. We shall take him to a grander stage with greater opportunities to shine more."
This was another Villain: Mr. Compress.
Izuku was pissed. He looked out for this dude, and he still missed him and lost Bakugo, 'fuck', alright, dark Deku happened in Season 6, but guess we'll go a bit darker for this fight right now.
Izuku walked toward him slowly, dangerously, "Oi,"
Mr. Compress directed his attention to the young Hero in the making, and behind his mask, he sweated a bit because this kid was releasing quite the intent at him.
"Two seconds,"
Mr. Compress was confused, so he asked, "Huh? What do you mean?"
Izuku was all too happy to respond,
"You've got two seconds to release him. Once I count to two, you're dead, 6ft under, in hell, pick your next spot, alive but one Katsuki lighter, or you keep that fucking marble and bite the dust. The choice is yours."
His friends were in shock. Was he actually? Nah, he had to be bluffing, or did he? Anyway, they all made mental notes not to piss off Deku.
"Hahahahaha, you think you can defeat me, boy? You wish. Hahahaha!"
"1"
"2"
"Death it is."
With that, Izuku dashed in with a burst of 65% OFA Full-Cowling, which allowed him to casually perception blitz Mr. Compress, but sadly, the Villain tricked him, and that marble was deactivated, unleashing a torrent of Twice Clones.
Momo was notified of Katsuki's abduction, and so she made a tracker and had Awase use his Quirk to attach it to a Green Nomu-looking Twice clone, so they could track down the L.O.V. base and rescue their Classmate later.
After they made it to a clearing and Izuku beat Toga, while Shoto and Shoji fought Dabi, Twice, and Mr. Compress, they managed to rescue the marble with Tokoyami, but sadly, Katsuki was once again taken, just like the Anime.
'Is this some cruel joke? I am stronger, aren't I? I am faster, no? So why? Why did it still go this way?'
"You Bastards!!!"
Izuku made an effort to recapture Bakugo, but Kurogiri's warp gate was faster, so the villains just left, even the Musclebound asshole along with Magne and Spinner; they were all saved by this teleporter.
All this shit, coupled with the guilt, finally made my emotions boil over, so I just let it out in an anguished cry, pouring in all this negativity, guilt, and suffering.
On that day...
...we who were aiming to be heroes...
completely lost to the villains.
And I made a promise to myself as exhaustion hit me so hard that I could move no longer.
'I will never lose again.'
